Chapter 50: The Family Banquet in the Palace
"What is the Hundred Tombs Palace for? Don't want to change the topic this time, honestly confess and recruit from the truth! ”
Now Mu Junnian's heart can't wipe off the sweat, how can she be so smart? Does she know she's too smart, isn't she?
When Mu Junnian wanted to explain the reason why he didn't tell her about the Hundred Tombs Palace, Mama came in and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the queen sent someone to tell Her Royal Highness and the Nine Emperor Princesses to enter the palace tomorrow, saying that they were holding a family banquet in the palace. ”
Why is it a feast again? It's been a feast several times, and every time nothing good happens, and this time it won't be a good thing! Bai Hibiscus pursed her lips and thought to herself.
Mu Junnian nodded in response, "Got it." ”
Immediately, when she saw Bai Jin's reluctant appearance, she immediately asked, "Jin'er is unwilling to go?" ”
If Jin'er didn't want him to push it, this family banquet was just a form for him, and there were few family banquets in the palace, even if it was a small banquet, there were many people.
Bai Hibiscus looked at Mu Junnian, his clear eyes were shining, like stars twinkling in the night sky, "I don't want to, on the contrary, I am very willing to go, but after entering the palace this time, can the prime minister give me a backing?" ”
Looking at her cunning eyes, Mu Junnian knew that she was thinking of some bad idea again, pinching her nose and revealing the pampering in her eyes, "Okay, this time you can play casually when you enter the palace." ”
Anyway, everything has him, she causes trouble, he blocks it, she wants to play, he plays with her, even if he pokes a hole in the sky, he will make up for it, as long as she is happy, he can do anything.
Hearing Mu Junnian's readily agreed, without even asking, Bai Hibiscus was surprised, "You don't even know what I'm going to do, so you readily agreed, what if I did something that you regretted?" ”
Regrets? Mu Junnian looked at her funny, and said something that made Bai Jin seem to be reassured, "Although Jin'er is playing, as long as you are happy, everything is in the way of your husband." ”
He's in his way? He knew what she was going to do? Looking at his eyes that didn't seem to be joking, she put her mouth around his neck, and her voice was a little crying, "Xianggong, can you not be so good to me?" I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it when I leave you. ”
Hearing this, Mu Junnian was slightly stunned, does she still want to go home? She's going to leave him? "You're still leaving, aren't you?"
His voice couldn't hear joy and anger, and the indifference made Bai Hibiscus's heart tighten, and he immediately shook his head and said, "No, I admit that I miss home, but I don't want to leave you, I'm just afraid that one day I won't be able to see you when I go home......"
The next words were all blocked by Mu Junnian. He was afraid that she would say things that would drive him crazy, he was afraid that she would leave him, he didn't know what he would be without her, and now his heart ached when he heard that she would leave him. His kiss was bitter, not as domineering as before, nor as gentle as before, her heart seemed to have been crushed by something, she was really afraid, afraid that she would never see him again if she left him, she didn't know if she could cross back, and she didn't know if she could take him with her.
On this night, the two of them had no more words, only ears and temples grinding and endless sadness.
The next day, Bai Hibiscus and Mu Junnian got into the carriage and went to the palace, after the events of last night, Bai Hibiscus didn't dare to mention leaving him again, she didn't want to see his sad eyes, she wanted to be kind to him during this time.
August will pass in a flash, and if there were no storms in this month, there would be no this year. The carriage galloped quickly and entered the palace, and Bai Hibiscus's hand was always held by Mu Junnian, very tight, as if he was afraid that Bai Hibiscus would lose it.
The banquet was placed in the imperial garden, and even the family banquet had many people, many concubines, and the princess and the prince sat at the back. When Mu Junnian and the two arrived at the Imperial Garden, Emperor Longyan and the Empress had already taken their seats, and the two stepped forward to salute and sat in the corresponding positions.
I don't know what this family banquet is for, but she has one day to help Mu Junnian clean up the princes and princesses who have bullied him. Feeling that there was a blazing gaze on his body all the time, he looked up and saw Mu Junxi looking at her opposite, smiling and nodding to say hello.
She hadn't seen him since she was taken away by Mu Junnian in the ball room, and today's banquet was different from the past, putting away his usual gentle and elegant smile, and he looked a little serious.
Suddenly there was a pain in her waist, Bai Hibiscus frowned, Mu Junnian reached out and grabbed her waist and leaned into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Don't look at him!" ”
Well? He was so domineering, his eyes glared at him as if he was dissatisfied, and Mu Junnian saw her hand on her waist pinched it hard, causing Bai Hibiscus to gasp for a while. Reached out and patted off the big hand on her waist, but he didn't let go, and rolled his eyes helplessly, and was honestly held in his arms.
This action is like a joke between lovers in the eyes of others, and everyone in the eyes of them all hides their mouths and snickers, and they are envious.
Mu Junxi looked at their envious appearance and clenched his fists, it was the summer sun shining, but he felt cold all over his body, sitting here made him breathless, and lowered his eyes to not look at the picture that made him sad.
However, Yun Wei, who was sitting next to the queen, was even more red-eyed, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was even more twisted and deformed by her, as if she regarded the silk handkerchief as a white hibiscus, and she wanted to tear her apart to relieve the unwillingness and anger in her heart.
Emperor Long Yan frowned, coughed lightly, and his deep voice sounded, "Today is a family banquet, it is rare to hold it in the palace, all the concubines and emperors are at will, and there is no need to be bound by etiquette!" ”
"It's Your Majesty (Father)" This time the emperor has spoken, and everyone does not have to be restrained, and they will drink happily after the palace people come up to eat, or the old routine of the past, singing and dancing are leveled, and everyone is flattering, without a trace of change.
In front of the food in front of him, Bai Hibiscus has always been unkind, the only thing in this palace that Bai Hibiscus likes is this food, nothing else, no interest!
Mu Junnian kept looking at Bai Hibiscus with his eyes down, the doting in his eyes was obvious, without the slightest concealment, he put a chicken leg between chopsticks and put it in Bai Hibiscus's bowl, and said softly, "Eat slowly." ”
Bai Hibiscus looked at him and nodded with a smile, picked up the chicken leg in the bowl and took a bite, seeing that he had been looking at her and didn't eat much, he reached out and handed the chicken leg she had eaten to his mouth, and said vaguely, "I didn't eat in the morning, so it's super delicious to take a bite." ”
Looking at the chicken legs she had eaten, Mu Junnian opened her mouth surprisingly to take it, feeling that the taste was so good, and reached out to wipe the residue from the corner of her mouth, the action was very gentle.
In the eyes of the princesses who have not left the cabinet, Mu Junnian is naturally an example for them to find a husband, and those princesses who don't like Mu Junnian from the beginning are even more sneering at this time, their arrogance and ridicule are very timely to be seen by Bai Hibiscus in the eyes, look at it with the corner of the eye, the corners of the mouth are hooked, these two people, she remembers! I don't know if it's because I've eaten too much or what, I feel a little uncomfortable and swollen in my stomach.
This reminded her of what her best friend said to her in college, if you get something delicious, you will stuff it to death, and you will not give up until you die!
After saying goodbye to Mu Junnian, he left the imperial garden to find a toilet, but what Bai Hibiscus didn't know was that Yun Wei also went out after she went out. After a while, Bai Hibiscus came out of the thatched house, feeling that his breathing was smooth, there was no noise during the banquet and no uncomfortable feeling of stomach pain, and the whole person was refreshed!
She still prefers quiet places. She has been to the palace many times, but she didn't have a good stroll, and she didn't want to go back to see their hypocritical smiles for the time being, so she walked along the path to a gazebo, I don't know if it was specifically for people to rest and enjoy the scenery of the lake or to build this pavilion by the lake, but there was no stone table or anything, and there were only wooden planks around the whole pavilion that people could sit down.
The lake is beautifully built, the water is crystal clear, the fish are clearly visible, and you can see it when you sit in the pavilion and look down. Bai Hibiscus closed her eyes and was enjoying the rare tranquility when a voice that she hated came into her ears.
"The Nine Emperor Princesses were originally here, Yun Wei wanted to talk to the Nine Emperor Princesses, but in a blink of an eye, the Nine Emperor Princesses didn't know where they went, and they didn't expect to meet here."
Bai Hibiscus turned her head to look at her, but did not get up. It's really quiet and the wind doesn't stop, she just wants to find a place to stay quiet for a while, but there is an uninteresting person who has to make do with you, or coincidentally? I'm afraid I came here on purpose!
smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I just said that the two of them are very fateful, I just came out not long ago, did you go to the toilet just now?" ”
Bai Hibiscus wanted to bite her tongue off when she said this, such hypocritical words reminded her of the scene of sycophants when facing her boss in modern times, it was like saying that her mouth was blooming, and her heart was spitting!
Bai Jin's big thorny question made Yun Wei's face red, Yun Wei really couldn't say such a shameless word as the toilet, and when she heard the meaning of Bai Jin's words, Yun Wei was not angry, and walked up to Bai Hibiscus and said with a smile, "The Nine Emperor Princesses really don't shy away from talking, Yun Wei likes the Nine Emperor Princesses' temperament." ”
Hearing this, Bai Hibiscus smiled and tidied up the hem of her clothes without wrinkles, and her sarcastic gaze fell on Yun Wei's hypocritical face, she didn't want to say these polite words to her again, she didn't have a good face at all for a green tea like her, "Miss Yunwei doesn't have to deliberately show a smile, do you know that your smile is ugly?" It's almost the recurrence of rheumatism and bone disease that I don't recur, I advise you to put away that fake smile. ”
In a word, Yun Wei was embarrassed, and just as he opened his mouth to say something, a nice and arrogant voice sounded behind him, "Second Emperor Sister, isn't this the Ninth Emperor Princess, why did you come to this pavilion?" Sister Yunwei is also there? ”
Yun Wei saw that someone was coming, and he would find himself under the stairs, so he turned to the two young women with a smile, "Why are you here?" I went out for a walk and ate and happened to meet the Nine Emperor Princesses, so I chatted with the Nine Emperor Princesses, the Nine Emperor Princesses are funny, I don't know if you can talk? ”
